The following are some points to consider before recording onto an MD or editing MD recordings. Caution The recording function is disabled in the following cases. · If you attempt to record onto a playback-only MD (such as a commercial music recording) or onto the Sound Scape disc · If the loaded MD has been set for erasure protection · If "TOC FULL" appears in the display panel · If the TOC contains errors Caution Do not unplug the power cord or move the MD recorder while the MD recorder is registering the TOC (while "TOC" is flashing in the display panel). Such actions can cause incorrect TOC recording, which may prevent correct playback. TOC (Table Of Contents) When you record a track onto an MD, information such as the track number and recording location is also recorded (onto a separate inner section of the MD). This information is used to play back or edit the recorded tracks. The MD's TOC is updated when: · the MD is removed. · the system's power is turned off. How to check available recording time When you load an MD, the TOC information is automatically checked and the disc's available recording time is shown in the display panel. If there is no TOC data Track numbers Track numbers are assigned automatically as tracks are recorded. Each subsequent recording is given the nexthigher track number. When recording from a CD A track number is assigned to each CD track as it is recorded, and is displayed where the CD track number is displayed when playing a CD. However, the track number of each track recorded on the MD will not necessarily be the same as its track number on the CD. All of the MD's recording time is available. If TOC data exists Number of tracks When recording from the radio A track number is assigned to each continuous recording session. The track number is incremented if you press the pause button and then resume recording. MD lock during recording While recording on an MD, the MD is locked and cannot be ejected. Total time recorded To determine the MD's available recording time, subtract the total time recorded so far from the MD's maximum recording time. For example, 74 minutes (maximum recording time) - 20 minutes and 17 seconds (total time recorded) = 53 minutes and 43 seconds (available recording time). If a power outage occurs when recording If the power cord is disconnected or a power outage occurs while the MD recorder is recording on an MD, the recordings done until that time are automatically erased, since their information has not been registered in the TOC. If recording a new track onto an MD that contains previously recorded tracks, only the additionally recorded track is erased.
